3 Row Seats

the VIN number starts with 6T suggests it is imported.

Mounting points are not visible.
Surely they would be under the carpet?
Wouldn't all Landcruisers have the same body?

I'm sure the holes in the body are there - was wondering about the mounts that bolt into the holes and the seats connect to. They would be above the carpet. If they're not there then I guess you'll need to get them as well as the seats and belts etc.

To clarify a previous comment The mounts are part of the seat and clip over bars in the holes in the floor.

So if you bought a pair of seats you would get the mounts and the levers to work it all as part of the seat.

Thanks for your input everyone.
$36500 for a 98 model with57 thousand kilometers.
does that sound OK?

Where did it come from.

If Japan be very cautious.

Being a Kiwi I am fairly familiar with JAP imports having owned several and been caught with wound back speedos on at least two that I know of.

At 60,000 Jap vehicles have a big test and lots get traded in then.

Some dont .

I bought a 1998 Corona diesel car with 57,000k on it.

After i got it I took the glovebox out and found a page from a logbook 4 years old and with more K's on that page than the car had on it when I bought it.

Earlier when they were first importing them everything had high 50's on it but the cars condition belied that at times.

They also seem to have little mechanical appreciation and service schedules mean nothing.

Usually the motors are gunked up from idling in traffic a lot.

One guy in our taxi fleet used detergent oil in his for a while.

Cleaned the motor out nicely, in fact so well he nearly needed to tow a drum of oil around with him.

Some were good and some were terrible Just be aware.

Hope its a good one


Personally I think it sounds dear but depends what motor it has as well

If its a 1 HZ its very dear

A GXL 1998 is quite often around the $20,000 mark




Cheers

It's a turbo diesel auto.

Yes but which motor

A 1 HZ of a 1 HDFTE


the latter has a sticker on the belt cover at the front of the motor with the model on it

OK, I'll try to find out tomorrow and post something on Wednesday.

Motor is a 1 HDFTE.

he imported it in 2002 from japan.

That sounds better but mileage is pretty low like i was saying Does it look as good as that.

Price may not be too bad then.

See if you can see the holes with the little bars in them near the walls in the back and try pulling the side trims out at the back to see if seatbelt mounts are there. You have to take the piece across the floor at the rear out with 5 screws in it to be able to do that You should be able to ping it out far enough to see right in the corners if they are there.

Have just looked in the manual and they are mounted just to the rear of the jack door and just below the window line and are held in by one bolt.

Ifyou pull the trim out a few inches you can see a fltpane at a 45deg angle to the back and the belt goes in a recess just in front of that Should be one bolt hole 5/8??? for it.
Other end goes through an opening in the trim near the roof to a bolt hole up there

The centre seatbelt anchorages are on the seats not the floor.

Probably wont matter with a Croozer but I was going to buy an import Corona that we had in NZ but not here and no one would insure it so check up first but parts would be interchangeable I guess

Lots of Toyotas in NZ similar to imports and we just took the bits in we wanted and Toyoa would cross reference them as they had all the CD's from japan.
A bit hard to read at times but a picture is worth 10 words in Japanese LOL
